Newt Gingrich: Here's a leader with a plan to genuinely control our southern border. He needs our support

When House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., introduced the Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act he set the stage for a vital national debate on important questions.

Does our safety matter? Does the safety of our children matter? Does the safety of our neighborhoods and communities matter?

Every American should be grateful that McCarthy is boldly setting out a plan to genuinely control our southern border and provided the resources and organization needed. He has written a bill that he says the House will vote on in December.

When contrasted with the open borders bill of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. – which every Democratic Senate incumbent has co-sponsored – the choice between the two parties is clear.

Republicans will control the border. Democrats will throw the border wide open to anyone who wants to enter.

The American people can decide which future is safer and more desirable.

What will someday amaze historians is how so many of our politicians and members of our news media have simply ignored the facts and focused on politically inspired distortions.

It is a fact that El Salvadoran gangs like MS-13 and their imitators have become a major threat in many American cities and neighborhoods. These gangs like to use knives on their victims because they can inflict more pain and create more terror – and they prefer torturing people rather than simply killing them.

A number of MS-13 members have been convicted of coercing children into sexual trafficking for the gang’s profits.

I know how great a danger MS-13 is because I helped create a television special on this violent group for Fox News more than a decade ago. It was already horrifying then. It is worse now.

But of course, the left-wing media does all it can to ignore or minimize MS-13’s viciousness, while focusing instead on the sad story of the American government’s mishandling of young people whose parents have broken the law to get into the United States.

However, the problem goes far beyond gangs.

Fentanyl is a stunningly dangerous drug. Carfentanil is an even more dangerous drug. Both kill, both are made in China, and both are largely brought into the United States across our southern border.

In 2017, there were an estimated 72,000-plus drug overdose deaths in the United States. This is a stunning death rate when you consider that in the entire Vietnam War we lost 58,220 members of the U.S. military.

The fastest growing cause of drug overdose deaths in 2017 was fentanyl, which took the lives of more than 30,000 Americans.

Controlling the American border is the first line of defense for our children, our neighborhoods and our safety.

Democrats who favor open borders, sanctuary cities for criminals, and abolishing or dramatically weakening the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) should be made to explain why they aren’t worried by the gangs and the drugs.

Majority Leader McCarthy has done the country a real service by offering the Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act – an effective bill that would increase safety for all Americans.

Let your representative in the House and your senators know that if they care about the safety of Americans, they should co-sponsor and fully support the Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act.

Democrats who favor open borders, sanctuary cities for criminals, and abolishing or dramatically weakening the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) should be made to explain why they aren’t worried by the gangs and the drugs.

Every day that we fail to act in controlling and securing the border, Americans die from drug overdoses and others are threatened and intimidated by gangs.

It is time to put American safety first.

House Majority Leader McCarthy is doing that with the Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act – and he deserves our help.

Yeah - the drug gangs are bad but the big problem with illegals is the cost of letting them use our schools, hospitals, and welfare system . That's half trillion dollars every year spent on people that aren't even allowed to be here.

Close the border. We are not the solution to their problems...they bring those problems here and destroy our country.

The MOTHERS who gave birth to these violent criminals are pouring over our border and they give birth to MORE of them! Those fathers are pouring over the border as well. They are all criminals, it's their culture and in their whole family tree!

They do not care about these children, they are baby factories!

They give birth to those gangs in their country then they run here for a "better life". What a joke!

It is expense to live here. They stuff 20 people into one home to keep expenses down. They have 6-7 children so they get freebies for it! That is not a better life! Then they send $50 billion back to their overbreeding relatives. They are destroying our country and bankrupting us.

Baloney, they run here for free stuff and give birth to more of those vermin they ran away from. Their own children! Now we are infested with their gangs and drugs, rape and crime. They are mouthing off in our streets waving their countries flags demanding they get to stay.

Get out and go mouth off in your streets at home!

We want them all processed and deported within 48 hours including ALL their UAC's. Load them on buses and send them back.

No asylum at Ports of Entry.

We have homeless, starving people, no housing, no job, we have gangs, drugs, murder, rape!

We have natural disasters and thousands and thousands to take care of and rebuild our own country.

They have NO right to come here or get asylum.

Cut off ALL foreign aid. Get them off the dependency of our money and make them solve their own problems at home!

We owe them nothing!

They need birth control and education to get out of poverty!

We cannot take in 2 billion people on the planet.

Shut it all down! No immigration, no refugees, no asylum, no TPS and no illegal aliens.

As of now it looks like GOP chances in the US Senate are improving. The Media is going to yap on and on about the US House---but does anyone really know? I hope "The Wall" is just rhetoric, because we can get the job done faster and cheaper, and with not so much media bleating, with electronic surveillance.

And leverage our trade and aid through diplomacy. Threaten sanctions if the home countries don't stop this nonsense. They can do it, they have the resources to do it. They know who the ring leaders are, they know their illegal intentions, they know who funds it, they know who is behind it, they know the smugglers, they know the traffickers, they know the citizens, they know the whole nine yards. They can shut this down in no time flat.

And it looks to me like the administration is moving in that direction, trying to stop it at the source, which I support 200%. Judy's Plan B .... just do it, they'll stop it, their economies and lifestyles and power depend on trade with our country. It's the best tool we have because it costs US nothing. Try it. And of course, DON'T LET THEM IN if they get here. Just tell them "No entry, no asylum, no condition in your country that qualifies, no refugee, no application, no requests, no paperwork or interview or hearing for you, we're closed. Bye Bye, have a nice day, here's some cookies. Enjoy!"
